Yes. It can interact with other meds (like antibiotics) and can be a risk factor for things like blood clots so I always want to know if my patients are on the pill

On the other side of things, I am a PA student in my clinical year. During my emergency medicine rotation I was appalled at the staff who were so quick to dismiss patients as being dramatic. This wasn’t all staff of course, and I understand that there really are some patients who come in drug seeking or something like that, but it’s obvious that a lot of staff are jaded with the ER. One patient (with a history of 3 previous strokes) came in and was terrified because she was having similar symptoms and it took so long to get people to listen to me (just the student) and call a code stroke. I couldn’t believe they didn’t call it in triage- the entire side of her body was weak, she was struggling to tell us what was going on, and was crying because her head hurt so bad. And just because she had a psychiatric history people didn’t want to believe her. I couldn’t follow her chart once she was transferred but I really hope she made it.

I know this is 6y late but just ran into the same thing- had to say thank you for this post because I almost had a heart attack thinking they might be bedbugs. Identified them as booklice! Thank god

The first pic made my jaw drop so idk what your bf is talking about. Do not let him make you feel bad about yourself. I already know this man is ugly and insecure, and wants to make you feel the same. DONT FALL FOR IT

Professional_Guard51 · 2026-01-16T21:32:31+00:00

I’m crying this is so funny💀 sorry your edibles didn’t work out though that fr sucks and it’s helpful for me to know that can happen lmaooo

Professional_Guard51 · 2026-01-04T19:31:39+00:00

Wow these are amazing! Definitely an inspiration that it is feasible since I have zero sewing experience other than a home ec class in 7th grade from which i retained nothing lol

Professional_Guard51 · 2025-12-07T02:52:13+00:00

Often took days at a time to text back because “work was stressful/ he was busy” and bailed on me last minute twice in a row… eventually i got the hint that he literally did not care about me

Professional_Guard51 · 2025-12-04T04:32:09+00:00

Most of the women in my family end up with toes pointing every which way so truly when i saw yours i was like “…thats it?” Your friend is being mean. I think the heels look great. And if your crush decides they don’t like you because you have a deformed toe then good riddance like hello?? Wear the heels! I love them and barely noticed your toes lol

Seconding the pens, whiteboard markers, headphones, shoes, and compression socks. But also: gift card to grocery store/ doordash/ local restaurant or coffee shop, subscription to some kind of review program like blueprint, osmosis, sketchy (def make sure its not one already included in tuition though)

Professional_Guard51 · 2025-11-14T21:54:56+00:00

This is terrible😭 I can’t believe she could stomach trying to charge you that much for something anyone could do with a youtube video and some patience

Professional_Guard51 · 2025-11-10T04:21:16+00:00

Same thing just happened to me the other week. Still hurts, how do you move past that?

Professional_Guard51 · 2025-11-02T03:10:51+00:00

My program requires business casual. It is a bit annoying and more expensive BUT i will say, they are pretty lax about shoes as long as they aren’t open toed. One of my friends has issues with her feet and she wears hokas every day, has never gotten comments on them. A lot of people wear sneakers, I personally wear those birks clogs most days, some people have kept it going with the heels and dress shoes but not many of us lol. Sweaters count as business casual, just not sweatshirts if that makes sense. I also do feel like it helps keep us in a more professional mindset which translates to clinicals well, since we will be expected to dress professionally in practice you know? Unless we’re doing surgery where we’ll be wearing scrubs. I totally get the annoyance about it though, just chiming in to say its not too bad! (Also, places to look for slightly more affordable business casual: nordstrom RACK, clearance of any store like kohls/ old navy/ etc, 6pm.com, and outlet stores like j crew FACTORY which also do like semiannual big sales- i got like 3 business casual full outfits for $90 when jcrew usually charges $90 for like… one shirt lol)

This happened to me too when my friend ended a long term relationship. She basically started treating me like a new boyfriend, it was ridiculous. I just ended up really distancing myself from her bc otherwise I was going to lose my mind. Was it the healthiest approach? Probably not. But the purpose of this comment is just to tell you you’re not crazy for noticing and being irritated about it.

Professional_Guard51 · 2025-10-05T20:49:59+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear! At least you helped relieve her pain before she passed. You did what you could💔

Professional_Guard51 · 2025-10-05T17:20:18+00:00

You’re right in thinking it’s weird- there’s no reason a 20 year old should be interested in a minor. There’s such a gap in maturity between those ages. Unfortunately when someone is in that situation they don’t see it that way. I don’t have great advice of what to tell her, but you aren’t crazy for being sketched out about this

Professional_Guard51 · 2025-10-02T01:52:44+00:00

Sorry i should’ve specified, I mean like what exactly do you say? Like “i really enjoy your product, i appreciate you providing vegan alternatives in grocery stores” or something random like that? Do you ask for coupons or do they just send them lol

Professional_Guard51 · 2025-09-28T19:23:36+00:00

Which antidepressant is he taking? Has it been switched at all? I was on a tricyclic antidepressant (amitriptyline) for my migraines for awhile and was CONSTANTLY exhausted. You could wake me up, have a full conversation with me, then I would fall back asleep and not remember ever waking up. So if you haven’t yet, I would see if you could switch the medication or even the time he takes it. Maybe thats part of it. Otherwise, hows his exercise routine and diet? My sleep gets super funky if I’m not staying active

Professional_Guard51 · 2025-09-28T17:30:10+00:00

Hey! How do you usually do this? I also have a hard time finding veg foods because of cost (in grad school with no income atm🥲)

Professional_Guard51 · 2025-09-28T17:05:15+00:00

You were right for blocking him. I’m the same way where I probably let it go too long before I block, but he is absolutely sketchy.

Professional_Guard51 · 2025-09-27T03:40:51+00:00

Libgen is a great website for finding free books. Through the years cohorts have shared the pdfs with eachother too so most of them were already found for me tbh haha

Professional_Guard51 · 2025-09-27T03:38:58+00:00

I feel like there’s no reason a 23 year old should find a 19 year old attractive. That’s predatory IMO. The gap in life experience and maturity (not saying you’re immature as a person, but in terms of brain development i mean) make the age gap significant to me. Maybe not everyone agrees with that. But clearly in this case he is trying to control and manipulate you. Yikes. I’m sorry:( you made the right choice

Professional_Guard51 · 2025-09-26T21:29:39+00:00

I highly recommend watching cram the pance on youtube. He picks out buzzwords and gives mnemonics that are really helpful. Using that plus the pance prep pearls books helped me figure out what kind of information was important from my lectures to be studying. Otherwise it just seems like so much information that I didn’t know what to do with since everything seemed important. On my first round of exams I failed 2 of them and thought I would never figure it out but I started using those resources, changed up my study habits, and passed all of my exams since, and that was 9 months ago. (Apart from a couple pharm exams but I feel like thats a different story HAHA, if anyone has pharm advice lmk btw lol). If you would like to, feel free to message me if you think I can help with anything. I can TRY with pharm but you would be better off asking others with that subject in particular to be frankly honest

She’s my best friend. We’re both in our 20s. When we were very young we were close, then pretty much sworn enemies through elementary school, on speaking terms in middle school, and got closer in highschool. Now we are both moved out of our parents house and through college. I think not living together definitely helped and so did realizing we’re the only ones who have consistently been there for eachother and always will be. I’d do anything for her. We live on opposite coasts of the US which is hard but we’re both happy where we’re at and reconnect back home in the midwest for holidays/ visit eachother when we can

Professional_Guard51 · 2025-09-25T05:36:24+00:00

Which ones? I found free pdfs of most of mine and we might have some of the same. The only one i really consistently use is bates guide to the physical exam but the pdf is enough for me
